And two, it would prevent the charger from tugging the MacBook along with it in case someone tripped on the wire.Īpple seems to have heard those users and brought back MagSafe 3 with the new MacBook Pro 14 and MacBook Pro 16. However, older MacBook users seemed to miss MagSafe a lot due to two main reasons - one, it was convenient since you only had to bring the charger close to the port and it would snap on.
USB-C is more universal and with most modern-day phones (except Apple's) having USB-C ports, the switch made sense. Along with other conventional ports like USB-A, HDMI, and the SD Card reader, Apple also removed the proprietary MagSafe charging port in favor of charging via the USB-C port. The charger also had a MagSafe end that would snap onto the connector via magnets if you brought it close enough.Īpple got rid of MagSafe from the MacBook lineup back in 2016 when it introduced USB-C ports on all MacBooks. The MagSafe port resided along with other ports on the side of older MacBooks and was magnetic in nature. This is different from the MagSafe introduced on the iPhone with the iPhone 12, but the idea is similar. If you've used a MacBook from before 2016, Apple used a proprietary charging port on their laptops call MagSafe. However, with Apple's custom silicon, you can opt for the M1 Max chip with a 10-Core CPU and a 32-core GPU on either machine. This wasn't possible earlier with Intel Macs. This means that both the MacBook Pro 14 and the MacBook Pro 16 can be specced-up to the same configuration.
The 2021 MacBook Pro 14 comes with Apple’s M1 Pro or M1 Max chips and brings back some legacy ports from the 2015 MacBook Pro models. This move is similar to how the brand replaced the MacBook Pro 15 with a new 16-inch variant a couple of years back.

Along with the update to the 16-inch model, Apple also announced a brand new 14-inch MacBook Pro. Then came the time for the elder sibling - the MacBook Pro 16 - to transition from Intel to Apple’s ARM-based chipset. The company refreshed the MacBook Pro 13 and MacBook Air in 2020 with its custom M1 silicon.
